ZoÃ« Ball made the announcement whilst standing in for Chris Evans on Radio 2's Breakfast Show. She will announce a new act each day this week at 8.15am.

Jeff Smith, Head of Music, Radio 2 and 6 Music, said: "It's great to have Radio 2 back live in Hyde Park, in the heart of the capital joined by world famous artists who reflect the breadth and diversity of the network's output.

"This year the focus is on getting friends and families together for a summer's day out full of music and good times."

Nearly 30,000 music fans descended on Hyde Park last summer for the annual event, which was headlined by the likes of Sir Tom Jones, Status Quo and Jessie J.

Organisers have announced that this year there will be two stages at the event, including a BBC Introducing stage.

Jason Carter, Head of Live Music and Events for Popular Music, said: "This year's Radio 2 show in Hyde Park is going to bigger and better than ever before, with a fantastic line-up of UK and international artists on the main stage, as well as the addition of a new second stage showcasing brand new talent.

"It'll be one of this summer's best music events!"

BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park will be available via the Red Button and the station will air highlights of the concert throughout September.
